Ecclesiasticus 12:12 Context
10Neuer trust thine enemie: for like as yron rusteth, so is his wickednesse. 11Though he humble himselfe, and goe crouching, yet take good heed, and beware of him, and thou shalt bee vnto him, as if thou hadst wiped a looking glasse, and thou shalt knowe that his rust hath not beene altogether wiped away. 12Set him not by thee, lest when he hath ouerthrowen thee, he stand vp in thy place, neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seeke to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my wordes, and be pricked therewith. 13Who will pitie a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wilde beasts? 14So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his sinnes, who will pitie?
